[edit] Binilnilium

While technically correct, do we really want all would-be atomic names from here to infinity in the wikipedia? Radiant! 22:20, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Do Latin numbers go up to infinity? Anyway delete unless there's something special about this one, which seems unlikely. Kappa 22:58, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • They do when expressed this way (which isn't really Latin). Uncle G 03:50, 2005 Feb 13 (UTC)
• Delete non-notable imaginary topic. Gazpacho 23:13, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete extrapolationcruft. (Not a good neologism but we need some term for all these articles created by applying mathematical induction to some naming convention). Dpbsmith (talk) 23:51, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Having placeholders for probably discovered but unnamed elements or believed to be soon to be discovered elements is one thing. But this is just silly. Delete. -- Cyrius|✎ 01:59, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Why not redirect to a page that contains the IUPAC naming convention for undiscovered or discovered and yet to be officially named elements? 132.205.15.43 02:13, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Systematic element name is the page you mean, and redirecting there or Transuranium element would be ok with me. Kappa 06:45, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Systematic element name Transuranium element since its atomic number is greater than 92. The name was proposed by IUPAC btw so it's not really a hoax as such. Megan1967 02:44, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Kappa suggested redirect is superior, changed as above. Megan1967 23:54, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Ditto on the redirect to Transuranium element, since an ad nauseum page doesn't exist. ;-) — RJH 04:30, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not an article, unhelpful. Wyss 11:48, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Crayonning on the walls. --Wetman 11:52, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - great so now we deal with temporary names of things not yet discovered! Brookie 19:39, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Unlikely to be discovered in any of our lifetimes. Do not redirect, unless it's somehow a good idea to redirect the eighty-mumble other undiscovered elements that precede this, too. —Korath (Talk) 01:52, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
